Syl [A Slime Evolution LitRPG] Chapter 298 : New Coat of Slime

"Damnit, Gramps!" I yelled out as soon as I regained consciousness, and the black void was replaced by the white rift.

I glanced around and noticed I was still in my crude stone bathtub, although the door crack I had left open to the outside world had closed in on . I was glad that I had taken the precaution of recording the coordinates beforehand, as this was a predictable outco.

I wonder how long I've been out for… hopefully not longer than a week. But first, let's worry about the new and reopening the door.

Although getting out was important, it wasn't my first priority; first, I needed to examine myself. The most obvious change was that my sli was no longer its glorious blue, but instead an ever-changing blur of iridescent colors, as if I'd fallen into a vat of paint or swallowed a rainbow.

I didn't hate it, although it did feel a little wrong. It was as if soone had rearranged the furniture in my house without my permission.

I shifted my vision to one of my [Sub-Cores] so that I could look at my own core and noticed that it had also changed—no longer was it the solid crimson-red, but instead it had rings corresponding to every type of sli core I'd eaten.

There was the honey-yellow from the acidic green sli, apple-green from the poisonous purple sli, burnt-orange from the blazing red sli, pale-turquoise from the frosty white sli, violet from the shocking yellow sli, the toxic-green from the explosive orange sli, iron-gray from the tallic silver sli, lapis-blue from the glowing violet sli, olive-green from the mulchy brown sli, and of course the crimson-red from the manarific blue sli. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

And I guess when I eat my pink sli core, I'll get another band of color to my core?

I conducted a quick test and was able to revert my sli and core back to their iconic blue and red colors, respectively. Happy that I could still be the old , I finally took a look at what my new evolution had granted . Much to my surprise, my trait list had shrunk dramatically, and right at the top of the list was a brand new trait.

[Primordial Sli LV 17]

That's quite a na. I'm guessing this one swallowed up all my individual sli traits. Well… let's have a look, shall we?

It was pretty much everything I could've asked for, with so extra stuff thrown in that I never even knew I wanted. I had no idea that there were diminishing returns for activating too many sli traits at once, and I'd only ever tried to avoid combining opposites like [Blaze] and [Cryo].

Speaking of which, I could still open up the individual traits and still get their separate descriptions, but they were now my pri trait. No longer was I temporarily borrowing their power; it was entirely part of and my natural sli composition.

While I was eager to try out the new trait and see what it could do, there was another startling discovery on my profile: [Morph Sli], [Pseudopod], [Sli Shot], and even [Vaporize Sli] were gone, and in their place was a singular trait.

[Sli Mastery LV 12]

I was surprised, but then, when I recalled the description of the Prismatic Sli, I vaguely rembered it had ntioned sothing about mastery over sli. It was an unexpected surprise as I'd only thought I'd get my sli type trait combination, but I wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Wait…

I'm missing ten points again! I've been robbed!

As if the system were expecting my response, a ssage suddenly appeared in my vision.

I stared at the "letter" as it began to fade away. I was still rather displeased, but I had to admit that I wouldn't want to lose out on any levels. That and I would have uncapped it anyway, since my sli traits deserved to be the best of the best.

ntally sighing, I took a look at my new trait.
